I'm a reseller for the Audioengine and I agree the sound is incredible for what they are. If A5 is too big, then A2 delivers similar sound in a desktop friendly size. You certainly don't have the range and depth of the A5 but it's pretty darn close.
As for "boomy" I would say they are certainly "boomy" for my tastes. But keep in mind everyone has different preferences. To me, having had Polk speakers from college onward and later planar speakers, I enjoy a tighter low end and accurate mids and highs. A5 does this well and adds some great depth without having to have a subwoofer. I would compare the low end to what older Boston acoustics sounded like. I would encourage people to try them out. It does take a little getting used to if you have had a satellite/subwoofer combo in the past. Think of how old CDs or tracks sound when you buy a new car and the new car system has a few extra speakers and is 5 years newer than your last car. You hear things differently, e.g. mid might be emphasized, than the old system. This kind of makes listening to music refreshing again. -- darwinl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ darwinl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2603 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40455 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
